Citi-$12,000
American Express- $6,000
-The presence of bank/national revolving credit has been estabolish
-You are using relativly low balance compare to credit limit
-You have never been late
 
Current negative factors is:
-The lenght of time your account has been estabolish is relatively short
First account open 14 month ago- Credit Card- Citi

They require an 800? WOW. There's not a whole lot more you can do. Do you have any installment loans?

Re: How to increase score

Just checking, but to get a score that high almost certainly requires a pretty long credit history, which requires reaching a certain age.  Are you old enough?

Re: How to increase score

This is something really new. Employers require 800 scores for a job. How many people would actually work for them?
Just FYI, they would look at middle FICO.

Re: How to increase score

You got a Citi card 14 months ago and an AMEX 3 months ago but have no hard pulls within the last 24 months? AMEX always does hard pulls.

Re: How to increase score

A score of 800 is required! That's incredible!  I would guess that less than 10% of the U.S. Population has scores of 800 or higher.  I do not think you can do anything fast (within a few months) which would raise your scores by 60 to 70 points.  You have no baddies, no inq's, low util and a decent cl on your citi card.  If Tuscani does not know, look to Brammy!  But she/he seems to have disappeared.

I am not sure if anyone that age can get a plus 800 score.  Might be part of their fiendish plot to only employ old people  Smiley Very Happy
